Benefits of Hurricane Windows

If you live in Florida, you know the stress that emerges every hurricane season. The lengthy process of putting up shutters, making sure you have safety kits in case of an emergency, and the anticipation of whether or not you need to evacuate can be daunting. Installing hurricane windows is a great way to save time, money, and worry in the long run. If you are unsure whether or not you can really benefit with impact windows over shutters, you may want to consider the unexpected benefits that come with investing in hurricane windows.

Theft Prevention

Home burglaries tend to happen more than we think and windows tend to be the first thing that burglars have to get through in the event of a break-in. Installing impact windows can help prevent burglaries from intruding into your space. Normal window glass can be smashed and locks picked, whereas hurricane windows have a much stronger and secure structure

Breaking through hurricane windows is practically impossible. If a burglar recognizes that you have impact windows installed in your home, it is very likely they’ll leave your home alone and head for their next vulnerable target.

UV Protection

With Florida’s blistering sun, it is no surprise that we experience some of the strongest ultraviolet rays in the country. Just as you would protect your skin from UV rays, you should take the same action for your home. Impact windows have been said to provide UV protection to your home. Sun rays that shine through your home can deeply damage your damage your flooring, furniture, window treatments and artwork in your home, causing them to fade and become discolored over time. Many times it may be difficult to notice this damage until it’s too late.

Home Insulation

Exercise energy efficiency by installing hurricane windows in your home. The impact-resistant windows have sealed technology that can make insulation for your home easy. Because of the reduction in Infra-Red heat rays entering your home, you are able to contain the cool air in your home. Impact windows allow for the prevention of cool air from escaping and heat from outside entering into your home, saving you costs on your energy bills the day after they are installed. You can maintain a constant temperature in your house at all times of the year, not only during hurricane season.

Insurance Benefits

Insurance companies offer incentives to homeowners that invest in impact windows to protect their homes. Adding home improvement elements to your home are a great way to not only increase the value of your home but also allowing insurance companies to work with you. Insurance companies will offer reductions to your insurance premiums, which may essentially balance out the cost of installing the windows in the first place. Contact your insurance company to see what deals they offer for the installment of hurricane windows.

Noise Reduction

You shouldn’t have your Sunday mornings disrupted by the guy next door mowing his lawn or his barking dog. Investing in impact windows is surprisingly an effective way to greatly reduce the amount of noise you experience in your home. The thickness of the glass coupled with the sound resistance technology of the windows, keep unwanted noise out of your home so you can relax!
